From the beginning of our activity, my grandfather Domenico, in 1930, looked at as a place for the development of our business the Upper Tiber Valley, a place north of Umbria, the green heart of Italy .

I was born here, in Badia of Petroia, a pretty village near Città di Castello.

Castrum Felicitatis, as in ancient times was called my city , is perhaps the oldest of the Umbrian , as the first piles were built by the ancient lake Tiberino Umbria about 3,000 years ago .
The Upper Tiber Valley is a small area that encompasses the cultures and traditions of the regions of central Italy , because this territory borders with the Marches , with Tuscany and a few kilometers away to the north , there is the Emilia Romagna.
In the green hills that accompany the valley throughout the territory have developed eight major towns, among which , for beauty and tradition, the villages of Montone, Citerna, Monte Santa Maria Tiberina and Pietralunga recognized nationally and internationally.
The most important center is Citta’ di Castello which houses a beautiful artistic and architectural heritage.
The patron saint is San Florido , born in 520 and died in 599 , and he was responsible for the reconstruction of the city after the destruction ordered by Totila.

Inside the Cathedral Museum houses a silver decorated frontal (called Paliotto) of the twelfth century , donated by Pope Celestine II to the city ‘. This is one of the most important religious artifacts that the city preserves and often HIS FAITHFUL REPRODUCTION , in miniature , is the gift that pay tribute to our foreign customers , when they come to visit to our company.
Do not forget , the great painter and sculptor Alberto Burri, among the greatest exponents of contemporary and " informal “ art, who dedicated to his city most of his works .n town ' there are In town there are two museums exhibiting his works.
All Umbria is worth visiting: Gubbio, Perugia ed Assisi, homeland of spirituality with Saints Francis and Clare. We can not forget Spello, Trevi and Spoleto, famous for their olive groves.

And then Orvieto , with its beautiful cathedral, and Terni , to visit and appreciate , for its history and its industriousness.

Oleificio Ranieri has for many years now started and pursued a corporate culture oriented to quality, continuous improvement of its business processes, keeping central excellence the needs of its internal representatives (employees and consultants) and external (customers primarily).
Operating in a market increasingly demanding in terms of quality, the company decided since 1999 to certify its quality system according to UNI EN ISO, getting from this location great satisfaction and recognition, such as the Quality Award Umbria (year 2003 ) and the reference to the Italian Quality Award (2004), Prize William Sonoma USA (2005) and centered many other prestigious goals.

Ever increase compliance and respect for all the mandatory regulations that the Legislature national, European and international lays down on supply , hygiene , safety , protection of the person and the environment, compliance with accounting standards ( in the economic / financial ) and any other relevant aspect for our organization

Increase the level of knowledge, satisfaction and loyalty of our customers, providing services and assistance as personalized and timely as possible, respect their demands and, if possible , going beyond their expectations.

Experience the taste of excellence : this typical Umbrian oil with a fruity flavor and intense , unique features , perfect in its organoleptic qualities has gained recognition of conformity to PDO in respect of the product specification in use. It is obtained by cold pressing of the drupe , carried out within a few hours from the harvest, with a most valuable continuous cycle plant , so as to keep intact all its excellent features : green slightly hazy , harmonious in taste , intense in its fragrances . Even the nutritional values reflect the quality standards of high quality oils : low acidity and peroxides abundantly below the limits of the law.

The panel is a group of tasters selected and trained by an expert said “panel head” , which coordinates and is responsible for the operation of the group .
Each member of the group running the oil tasting individually. The oil is contained in a typical colored glass , usually colored blue , to prevent the view of the color of the oil affects the taster.The analysis of the sample is done by evaluating the smell and the taste : the taste starts with taking the cup in his hands , warm it in the palm of your hand and smell the contents through slow deep breaths , then after the distribution of a quantity in mouth enough , we proceed with the taste test.The positive feelings ( strengths ) or negative ( defects ) identified by each taster are noted on a special card. It is up to the panel head check the consistency of the assessment of his group and , following a precise mathematical calculation , attribute to sample the corresponding commodity classification.
A word of warning : the extra- virgin olive oil, as a dressing, mixes chemically and kinesthetically with food which is accompanied, by an oil tasting which seemed too intense can instead become more soft and pleasant.
So , while respecting the technical approach of the panel , we should evaluate our oil even in a composite plate : perhaps it would find really special !
